The Elkader Little League accepts a check from Pattison Sand Company for $1000 towards the revitalization of the Elkader ballfields. Funds for Fields was nominated as a donation recipient by Pattison Sand employees Rob Priem and Mike Orr through a program which allows employees to help decide how to distribute company donations.
